Hi all, I am just looking for a bit of help and advice for my brand Aotearoan. As you can see from the attached image I have a color pallet, a logo, and a fuselage design that I think looks quite good. What I need help on is a font for the livery, every font I have chosen so far just doesn't look right so I am looking for suggestions on what font I could use or if anyone is interested in modifying the livery. Any help would be much appreciated.

imo nothing really screams 'New Zealand' here. It looks like a generic Hawaiian carrier with a weird logo. The font should be simple & elegant at the same time and the pallet should have an accurate representation of the nation. Also the name is a little strange.

I do not understand how is this is a brand that you created (except the name) "original" this is basically Air New Zealand you just did a few minor changes and called it Zealandic. But Aotearoan is a elegant looking airline that is not copied from another airline.

In my opinion the tail logo can be changed. The font looks okay but should be moved up just a little.

It was my feedback, this thread is meant to be critical, and like I did, I gave it critique. My Zealandic brand was intentional to mirror Air New Zealand, as that was my intention when designing this airline. Not all liveries have to be original, many AE designers base liveries off real life carriers. Does that make them any less of a good brand? No, it doesn't. If you would like to see more 'original' designs by me instead of picking a brand I designed months ago, you can refer to my gallery in the correct section

Before you try come back with something I suggest you look at yourself before making any critiques on my 'originality'. Your airline has 0 theme, it's a google image looking bird with a red circle and a grey paint on the tail and a few lines on the fuselage. Adding the word 'Kochi' to a Japanese carrier and not making the carrier in anyway resemble anything Japanese whatsoever doesn't make the airline better, in fact it makes it worse. Speaking of originality again, you've copied your alliance logo from globe which is outspokenly obvious to a point where I was contemplating on mentioning it here.

Despite this, I do not wish to create drama on this thread as I was merely giving critiques, so if you would like to take this further I would be more than happy to debate this with you in Private Messages.

Au revoir,

True my design is disgusting, I suppose I should have just changed the ANA livery and called it Japanic. My intention was not to create conflict. I was just being critical "This thread is supposed to be critical"

Cheers,

(FYI I did not create the Alliance logo )

I think the whole purpose of the thread was giving critique to this airline, not mine, this thread doesn't say 'Aotearoan and Zealandic branding critiques' so it makes me curious why you even bothered to put my image on the thread. Giving criticism is allowed, I'm not sure why you are targetting me after following the whole point of this thread.

Also, feel free to change your livery to Japanic and ANA, I'm sure it would look better than before
